How many reporters have actually confronted the Trump Administration about committing ethnic cleansing?

I’m okay with waiting for a conviction or a plea in Wendy and Eddie’s respective cases before assuming their guilt. But that’s just me. (I do criminal defense.) #RHOP Jen Shah, I was more ready to think she was fucked, but part of that was being in federal court.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

White House staff should just make and show him an AI-generated video where he wins, fly him to Duluth and tell him it’s Oslo, and dare the New York Times to say anything more than “Experts disagree about whether Mr Trump was awarded the Nobel Prize”.

Anybody doing some organized pressure around this? A "bad Apple" campaign? A "There's an app for that but you're capitulating to fascists" campaign?

Perry: "Deportations are up. Arrests are up. … The courthouse remains open and always has. Federal laws are being executed. They're also being broken, as they have been since the beginning of time."

I did like three double takes and then thought … hmm…I’d really like to watch her as the housewife

“Friend” is a loose term since I found out he thought it was a personal responsibility issue whether my family would be broken up by immigration issues. But I continue to harass him on his political positions because he’s influential to his sons and their friends. And that just bothers me.

My friend like 2 days ago: “I’m consistent. I supported it when Obama did it and I support it when Trump does it. These people are bringing drugs to our country that kill 140,000 Americans every year.”

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.
